I'm helping a friend with a BSOD issue. He's had them since the computer was built. And after resolving my issue related to ntoskrnl.exe and my ram being the issue I figured I would take a whack at it. Anyways the computer was never OC so that ruled that out. The issue I had was unsupported ram so I had to manually set the timing and voltage and all that. Which we did but he was still having issues.
Mobo: MSI 890FXA-GD65
Ram: F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 (2 sets, 4 sticks in total, 16gb)
I found on a different forum it was suggested to disable the "DCT Unganged Mode" which he just did and now we're testing it, I am currently waiting on the test results. In the mean time I was curious if using 4 sticks of ram could be the issue. Does his board permit the use of all 4 ram slots? If it does not which 2 slots should he be using? And in general is there anything other than manually settings the timing and disabling the DCT mode that would be worth trying? The only other thing I could think of is a bad ram stick which if the results produce a BSOD i will have him run a memtest86+ to figure that out.
Any other suggestions?
